Here is a snap shot of my past week.

This scared me when I first read this title, because I immediately thought of Cliff and Amanda, who live in Ottawa. Luckily (for us and them) they would have still been in NB at that time, and Cliff and I were actually out for a ride of our own in Fredericton. This is an [...]
